When Yang Mingzhi returned to the weapons design bureau, Ivanov was already waiting here, standing outside the door with his entourage, smoking.
Has the inspection of the equipment in the fertilizer plant been completed? Or is there indeed something wrong with the equipment?
With a hint of uneasiness and expectation, Yang Mingzhi walked over quickly.
His sudden visit surprised Ivanov: "Deputy division commander! I heard that you left urgently. It seems that there is something important."
"It is indeed an important matter." Yang Mingzhi changed the topic and asked eagerly: "How about it? Regarding those fertilizer plant equipment, can you and your people give me an accurate result."
Suddenly, Ivanov hesitated a little.
Seeing his hesitation, Yang Mingzhi's heart suddenly tightened. After all, these equipment were produced under the current bad environment. Even if Liguschkov had incredible talents, it would be inevitable that there would be quality problems in the products.
Whatever! It’s a blessing, not a curse, but it’s a curse that cannot be avoided. If there is a quality problem, make urgent changes!
Yang Mingzhi pinched his waist, prepared himself mentally, and said: "It doesn't matter, problems are inevitable! Since problems arise, we will solve them! Tell us, is the fertilizer production equipment really welded?
firm."
Hearing what he said, Ivanov breathed a sigh of relief. The superior had made such an attitude clear, which made him more confident and easier to talk to if the situation changed.
The frown on his face relaxed, and he threw away the cigarette that had been smoked until only his butt was left.
Ivanov said: "I want to report this to you urgently. My people and I checked all night, with dozens of pairs of eyes checking all the gaps. I can responsibly say that we were unable to find any gaps.
We have also checked other areas prone to problems, such as bolts and wrenches, and no problems were found."
Hearing what he said, Yang Mingzhi felt relieved.
The steel used to make equipment comes from steel bars plucked from ruins, or removed from enemy armored vehicles, and some are recycled from scrap firearms. In addition to these most basic materials, such as rubber sheets and damaged tires
Transformation.
It's crazy to say that there are also some pressure gauges on the equipment, which should not have been included in the original. Each of the ethylene oxide cylinders dropped during the airdrop operation was equipped with a pressure gauge, and now they can be removed and put to good use.
The temporary changes were supposed to make the device safer, but Ivanov still had doubts.
"Deputy Commander, we all know that a fertilizer plant must be established quickly and put into production quickly. We can't find the problem with the naked eye, and maybe there is no problem at all. If there is a problem, it can only occur during the production process. This
That's what worries me the most."
After listening to what he said, Yang Mingzhi closed his eyes and thought for a while.
Then he suddenly said: "So you mean that the inspection has been completed and no problems have been found yet? What I mean is that at least you have not found any problems."
If you admit it decisively, you will have to take responsibility! Ivanov is very hesitant, because when just heating peat to release olefin substances, a large amount of flammable gas is under high pressure, and once it leaks, it will react with the burning fuel. The entire
The stove becomes an extremely huge "natural gas bomb"!
If you fail, you will have a heavy responsibility, maybe...
He didn't think about it anymore, his eyes widened and his brows furrowed, clearly exposing his nervousness.
"Are you afraid? Are you afraid of something going wrong, or what?" Yang Mingzhi was a little unhappy and said seriously: "You are a man who can even create hydrazine nitrate. What are you afraid of?"
This question went straight to the bottom of Ivanov's heart.
Yang Mingzhi simply asked sharply: "Give me an accurate answer, will the equipment work or not?!"
"OK!"
Ivanov simply gave up and gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
"Oh! That's right!" Yang Mingzhi's seriousness disappeared. This time he showed a relaxed smile and patted Ivanov's shoulder kindly. "My comrade! We are in a war era! I know
In the past, these chemical equipment had to undergo rigorous testing after production until all possible production safety problems were eliminated before they could be sent to the chemical plant!
Even so, who is involved in the production of this equipment and who is the main person in charge. If there is a real quality problem, the relevant personnel will be responsible.
It’s just that these peacetime models are already a thing of the past. This matter has delayed a lot of time for many reasons, and we have no time to waste anymore! We don’t have time to check carefully now. I think your inspection results are very good! Because you and
Your people must be inspecting it with great seriousness, so I have decided that the final inspection of the fertilizer plant equipment has passed."
Perhaps because his words were not concise enough, Yang Mingzhi paused and made his final decision: "Ivanov, this project was planned and implemented by me. I am the commander-in-chief. If any problems arise, I will be responsible."
, so just go ahead and do it with peace of mind!"
Ivanov, who has always been in a complicated mood, can finally let go of all his worries. "Since the commander has made the decision, we can proceed to the next step smoothly. We must try our best to determine the location of the factory."
Yang Mingzhi nodded: "Site selection is naturally very important. We must conduct a seminar."
"In that case, please ask the commander to arrange the time." Ivanov knew that Yang Mingzhi was leading people to design new weapons, and logically said that he should not disturb him. Everything could only be decided by the commander.
"Then let's arrange it tonight. After all, I'm quite busy during the day. You also know my situation..."
Ivanov nodded as if he understood. The equipment review was concluded, and the site selection issue was destined to be a study. Choose a point on the map that meets various requirements and avoid all kinds of troubles as much as possible.
I'm afraid this won't be solved in a short while.
However, Yang Mingzhi already knew what he was thinking about, so he said to Ivanov with his head raised: "Comrade, regarding the location issue, our original plan was to place the factory in the hot spring area.
There may be a better location, but we don’t have that much time to study it. You and your people should find it immediately, and use the daytime today to open the map and determine the feasible location!"
The so-called hot spring area is also a sulfur mine, and next to it is a prisoner of war camp where German prisoners of war were detained. It is still some distance from the nearest Catfish Village, and the location is relatively remote.
As the chief said, it may not be the best location. Since I don’t have time to continue researching now, I will choose the approximate location. In this way, I really don’t have to worry about searching for Feng Shui treasures all over the map. I only need to search in the hot spring area.
Just draw circles, summarize the pros and cons of each circle, and finally let the commander make the choice.
He already knew it in his mind, so he said sincerely: "I will complete the task on time. Maybe after the sir finishes his work during the day, we can determine the location of the factory tonight."
"It would be great if this matter could be completely resolved today. Then we could even start moving the equipment tomorrow."
Ivanov and his people left in a happy mood. Looking back at his back, Yang Mingzhi could feel very confident.
But this man's worries do exist.
Yang Mingzhi couldn't care about so much anymore, he had to shoot when the arrow was on the string, maybe he would have to go straight to the hot spring area tomorrow!
